We believe when someone is empowered to realize their potential, thriving becomes more than a possibility. By giving individuals the tools to build their independence, pathways open and achieving new heights becomes reality.
Whether through life skills or job training, employment placement or meal delivery, we help individuals with disabilities and seniors recognize that they are more than able to live self-sufficiently.

Grateful to Grow at Hale Aina Dining Facility
Lanakila Pacific connected Megan with a job at Hale Aina Dining Facility right out of high school. Over the past ten years, she’s found a workplace where she can grow, learn, and feel supported. She started in food prep, learned to serve meals, clear tables, and operate the dishwasher, and now works as a cashier. “I love numbers, so it helps me focus and keep my mind calm,” Megan said. Her job has become a source of confidence and connection. “Lanakila Pacific understands the barriers we face,” she explained.
Thankful for Every Meal
For the past three years, Lanakila Meals on Wheels has brought Craig comfort, nourishment, and care. Each week, volunteers deliver hot, nutritious meals to his door with a friendly smile. “Before I had Meals on Wheels, there wasn’t enough food,” Craig shared. “I had nothing to eat, but now I’ve got plenty of food. It made a big difference.” He first learned about the program through his case manager and now relies on it, especially when benefits run low. The volunteers mean as much to him as the meals. “They’re really nice,” he said. “They’re polite, every one of them.”
Mahina’s Meteoric Rise from Cashier to Coach and Advocate
When Mahina first entered the workforce, her biggest challenge was a lack of confidence. Negative experiences left her searching for a workplace where she could grow and find meaningful employment. She found that opportunity with Lanakila Pacific in 2017, when she was hired at Hickam Air Force Base’s Hale Aina Dining Facility, an inclusive workplace supported by SourceAmerica’s AbilityOne program.
At Hale Aina Dining, Mahina built confidence and learned teamwork.
